Upstream had recently grown from a small Greek mobile
marketing agency to a truly global marketing technology and
solutions provider.

Serving top brands and mobile operators in over 40 countries,
Upstream has o$ces in London, Rome, Athens, Redwood City
California, Dubai, Singapore, Bucharest, and Rio de Janeiro.

It has executed more than 160,000 campaigns and interacted with
500 million consumers worldwide for companies like Vodafone,
T-Mobile, TIM, The Coca-Cola Company, BMW, BSkyB, Johnson &
Johnson, Nestl, Shell, Unilever, Verizon, and Skype.

Its proprietary marketing technology platform is built around
maximizing consumer response through optimization,
gamication, message contextualization and personalization, and
advanced insights and analytics.

Upstream was a very exciting
company by 2010.
1

But it didn t look it...

One of my jobs was to change the
look and feel in a way that reected
the companys inner character.

speak less - gain more approach
to mobile marketing.

We decided to devise an online test
that would screen applicants and
rank them according to a set of
gamied challenges that would
reveal
a contestants relevant skills.

At Upstream, some 700
people completed the 60-
minute online test since it
went online in late 2011.
Upstream only notied those
who scored beyond a certain
level of points in order to
discourage challenge-takers
from assuming that
participation would result in
a job, Krief says. Those who
scored well were contacted
by phone, and four have been
hired in recent weeks.
Another two are in the
pipeline, he adds.

Another focal point of my work at
Upstream has been the creation of a
new brand entity,One Line
Marketing, or 1LM that was later
transformed to Persado, a new
company. Persado is the only Greek
company that has ever received
funding from Bain Capital.
Very broadly, it refers to the use of
technology in the attempt
to maximize the response rates of a
short, text-based
sales message.

words and numbers had to be
